NEW PROJECT ANALYSIS You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $135,000 and shipping and installation costs would add another $8,000. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $94,500. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% as discussed in Appendix 12A. The machine would require a $5,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $52,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? b. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? What are the project's annual cash flows during Years 1, 2, and 3? Should the machine be purchased? Exnlain vour answer

REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS The Dauten Toy Corporation currently uses an injection molding machine that was purchased 2 years ago. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is 2,100, and it can be sold for 2,500 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is 2,100/6 = 350 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for 500 at the end of its useful life. Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its WACC is 15%. Should it replace the old machine?

vvk.3 You are evaluating two different milling machines to replace your current aging machine. Machine A costs $236,244, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $67,855 per year. Machine B costs $417,560, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $32,660 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $35,626. Your tax rate is 34 % and your discount rate is 10 %. What is the EAC for Machine A?
4. A new machine which costs RM15,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years and a scrap value of RM4.000. No use excel. Construct a depreciation schedule until end of year 3. (BV1=RM12800, BV2=RM10600, BV3=RM8400)
Plz show excel formula !!!! Benson Enterprises is deciding when to replace its old machine. The machine’s current salvagevalue is $1.2 million. Its current book value is $1 million. If not sold, the old machine will requiremaintenance costs of $420,000 at the end of the year for the next five years. Depreciation on theold machine is $200,000 per year. At the end of five years, it will have a salvage value of $220,000.A replacement machine costs $3.5 million now and requires maintenance costs of $160,000 at theend of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of five years, the new machinewill have a salvage value of $540,000. It will be fully depreciated using the three-year MACRSschedule. In five years a replacement machine will cost $4,000,000. Pilot will need to purchasethis machine regardless of what choice it makes today. The corporate tax is 35 percent and theappropriate discount rate is 10 percent. The company is assumed to earn sufficient revenues togenerate…

Problem 11-06New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,140,000, and it would cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $547,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $381,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?$ What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1 $ Year 2 $ Year 3 $ What is the additional Year 3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? Do not round…
